There’s no such thing anymore. Through February the federal government borrowed $43.5 billion a week. I don’t mind going into debt for things I need i.e. house, car, or other major capital outlays. I don’t mind borrowing as a taxpayer for public works, healthcare and groceries for those who can’t afford it, defense of our nation, etc. I do mind going into debt to finance the greatest transfer of wealth from the bottom to the top in history. It’s not what we borrow, but what we do with it.

A huge percentage of taxpayer dollars and borrowed money was going to Ukraine, fraud, and U.S. Aid.

Yes, fraud.  Like the $9 billion fraud perpetrated by the muslims in Minnesota!

At my last count, in state elections so far in 2026, 39 seats have flipped from red to blue. And no seats have flipped from blue to red……..I believe the blue wave is coming.

I wonder if this was “borrowed” money? This is the tip of the iceberg, but I’m also afraid there are many icebergs.

It’s about scale. People throw big numbers around without realizing what they actually mean.  If you earned a dollar per minute, in 11.5 days you’d have a million dollars.  If you earned a dollar per minute, it would take you 31.7 years to hit a billion. That’s 11 days to 31 years of a difference.  A trillion? 31,700 years at a dollar per minute.  Throwing million, billion, and trillion around interchangeably really understates the magnitude of our spending problem. The problem is that both sides have enjoyed an open checkbook for far too long.  Conservatives are like “cut taxes… it’ll fix itself.”  The libs are like “raise taxes on the rich… that’s going to fix everything.”   Tariffs won’t fix it either, btw.  The truth is that we’re going to have to cut spending and raise taxes on everyone or it quite simply won’t survive. But by all means, let’s raise that borrowing limit  

Politicians won’t say this because they’d lose their gigs. The American public won’t stand for it because we all want it all, and expect someone to foot the bill.  But it’s as certain as that guy in Titanic that’s was like “oh, I can assure you, it can and it will (sink).”  
 

But you’re correct… nobody cares about the debt and deficit.

The man didn’t like the word huge and asked for numbers, so I gave him numbers. Do I think spending is out of control? Of course, who doesn’t? People who always want to argue don’t even realize that we’re in the same boat.
